The night was deep, and Qingyun still hadn't rested. She sat quietly at the table, her eyes slightly lowered and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Mo Xuan's eyebrows were furrowed. Firstly, he felt sorry for his lover who worked hard day and night, and secondly, he was sullen because there was a very ignorant person next to him.

It's not that he didn't see the frozen look that Mo Xuan glanced at, but Lou Haiyang just couldn't see that Mo Xuan never left the Ninth Princess for a moment like a possessor. Moreover, he was holding back a lot of questions and couldn't get answers. Even after he returned to the room, he couldn't Can't sleep.

"Ninth Princess..."

"The last general (subordinate) meets the ninth princess (master)!"

Lou Haiyang was about to ask the question in his mind when Situ Jingyu and Wuying walked in one after another. Qingyun heard the sound and raised his eyes to look at the two of them: "Thank you for your hard work, how is the situation?"

"Back to the Ninth Princess," Situ Jingyu said respectfully: "Just as the Ninth Princess expected, Gong Yuanhao went to the secret passage. The last general led his army to wipe out a general and nine thousand soldiers, and released Gong Yuanhao, a general and a thousand soldiers. Soldiers leave."

Wuying then replied: "Following the master's will, Gong Yuanhao and the rebels have been forced back to Jiuyuan County. However, a group of masked men in black of unknown origin suddenly appeared during the period to protect Gong Yuanhao from evacuating. Their skills and extreme The Palace of Dust was exactly the same. In addition, he took out a dark green token and presented it to Qingyun with both hands: "After the army drove out the rebels, my subordinates discovered a hundred men in black hiding in secret. They originally wanted to capture them and ask them about their origins." , but they actually committed suicide by taking poison. Their subordinates only found the token from the leading man in black, but they were sure that they were their own countrymen and should be killers, because there were thousands of rebels staying in the enemy camp. It’s one of their deadly moves.”

Looking at the token carefully, there was nothing else except the word "Dream" engraved on the front. The texture of the token was also very ordinary. Qingyun frowned.

Whose order did those hundred foreign killers appear on the battlefield? Why did they kill the thousands of rebels who stayed behind? What was their purpose?

"It's Juechen Palace again!"

Lou Haiyang knew that Wuying was a secret guard with a strong ability to recognize people, so he raised his handsome eyebrows. However, the four of them looked as if they had expected the Juechen Palace people to appear, but he was the only one who looked a little fussy. I can't help but secretly review myself, have I become stupid? Do I still have insufficient concentration?

"Wuying, send an order to secretly investigate the capital every month, especially the women whose names contain the word 'meng' in the palace, and then secretly monitor them, and wait until I return to the capital to deal with them."

Although it could not be ruled out that some men would also have this word in their names, Qingyun intuitively believed that this person should be a woman, and she always had an indescribable feeling that the one hundred killers were probably targeting her. of.

"I obey the order!" Wuying left immediately.

Looking at Qingyun with a clear and solemn expression between his brows, Situ Jingyu thought for a while and asked: "Ninth Princess, should we attack the city or besiege Jiuyuan County next?"

Lou Haiyang also turned to look at Qingyun. Duan Fanghong had asked this question before, but the Ninth Princess only asked the army to rest without giving any instructions.

"Just wait and see what happens." Seeing the doubtful and disapproving expressions of Situ Jingyu and Lou Haiyang, Qingyun understood that after this battle and her personal visit to Liyang County, the morale of our army is now at an all-time high. They all want to wipe out the rebels in one go and quell the civil strife as soon as possible.

only......

Situ Jingyu raised his eyebrows: "I am stupid, please give me some advice from the Ninth Princess!"

Looking at Situ Jingyu, who was frowning, Qingyun took a sip of the hot tea handed over by Mo Xuan, and then said quietly: "I understand your feelings, but don't forget that Gong Yuanhao is a hereditary villain. He is the prince of the current dynasty, and holds a gold medal for immunity from death given by the late emperor. He also saved his father's life. Even if he is committing a heinous crime of raising an army to rebel, if we mishandle it even slightly, it will inevitably lead to misunderstanding and even condemnation from the subjects. Therefore, it can only be captured alive but not killed;

In addition, it is not difficult to understand that Gong Yuanhao has a close relationship with Amugu Lang and Liang Guo in private, but it is a bit incredible that people from Juechen Palace would come forward to protect him. You know, Gong Yuanhao's father died in Juechen Palace. Chen Palace’s assassination, so Gong Yuanhao hates Juechen Palace as much as the royal family, so whose order did Juechen Palace come here? What is the purpose of risking his life to protect Gong Yuanhao back at the critical moment?

In addition, don’t you think it’s strange that Gong Yingjie went to the capital instead of staying with Gong Yuanhao at this time?”

"What the Ninth Princess means..." Situ Jingyu and Lou Haiyang were thoughtful.

"Gong Yuanhao is already terminally ill, so there is no need to worry about it. What I want to know is the person behind him." Qingyun's eyes flashed with a captivating edge: "After a long period of peace and prosperity, some people have developed thoughts that they shouldn't have. , it’s a pity that there is no evidence to punish them. Let’s just make a bigger fuss this time and see who can show his fox tail if he can’t calm down. It’s best to kill all those black sheep completely. This is called being reluctant to let the children be trapped. Wolf!"

Lou Haiyang thought for a moment, then gave Qingyun a thumbs up, and praised without hesitation: "The Ninth Princess really planned a strategy and won the battle thousands of miles away!"

Lowering her eyes and looking at the tea leaves sinking and floating in the tea, Qingyun's lips traced a hint of bitterness.

If she had no other choice, she would not have made such a move. After all, those soldiers and the people of Jiuyuan County were all subjects of the Jin State.

Gently holding the other catkin she placed under the table, Mo Xuan, who understood Qingyun's thoughts, silently comforted her.

Jiuyuan County.

Gong Yuanhao suddenly rebelled against the imperial court and ordered that no one enter or exit Jiuyuan County. The people were panicked.

Soon they heard that the imperial army was encircling Jiuyuan County, and the people became more and more frightened. They were afraid that the imperial court would kill them as traitors and traitors, and they were afraid that King Zhongwu would drag them to death in the end, so every household closed their doors. As expected, except for the patrolling soldiers, there were almost no traces of pedestrians on the street. The once bustling and bustling streets now looked particularly solemn and desolate.

At this time, the atmosphere in Prince Zhongwu's palace was extremely heavy and eerie.

As soon as he returned to the gate of the palace, Gong Yuanhao could no longer suppress the surging energy and blood in his body. Blood continued to flow from his mouth and he fell off his horse. Then he fell into a coma. The entire palace was suddenly shocked and confused.

While Lei Fangju ordered the guards to quickly invite Mrs. Gong and the prince's personal doctor, he and several generals carried Gong Yuanhao back to his room.

Not long after, Mrs. Gong hurried to Gong Yuanhao's room with four maids.

But I saw that she was about sixty years old, with some gray hair on the temples, and few wrinkles on her beautiful and well-maintained face. The silver and vermilion fine cloud brocade dress embroidered with Phoenix tail bamboo made her even more graceful and luxurious. It's just that his deep and slender eyes are shining with vicissitudes of life and shrewdness, making it difficult for people to get close to him.

Looking at Gong Yuanhao with his eyes closed on the bed and his pale face completely bloodless, Mrs. Gong looked worried, but her eyes were bottomless. For a moment, she stared at Lei Fangchu and others: "What happened?"

What's the matter?" He frowned, showing no anger or authority.

Lei Fangchu told the whole story truthfully.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gong's slender eyes flashed for a moment, and a hint of bloodthirsty and murderous intent disappeared. Seeing that the doctor had finished diagnosis and treatment, she ordered Lei Fangju and others to go down first to stabilize the morale of the army and consolidate the defense. If anything happens, immediately

Come report and wait until the prince wakes up before making the next plan.

"Old madam, do you want to send someone to investigate the whereabouts of the prince?" Lei Fangchu knew that the prince was worried about the prince. If the prince really encountered something unexpected, not to mention that the prince would not survive, then it would be useless for people like them to fight to the death to rebel against the court.

significance.

"You don't need to worry about this matter." Seeing that several people were stunned, Mrs. Gong suddenly realized that her words were a bit excessive, so she slowed down and said: "I will arrange for people to find the whereabouts of the prince. All you need to do is

Just do your own thing well."

Only then did a few people feel relieved: "I will obey your orders!"

After confirming that several people had left Gong Yuanhao's courtyard, Mrs. Gong asked the doctor in a blink of an eye, "How is the prince doing?"

"Go back to Madam," the doctor said respectfully: "Your Majesty's anger caused an old illness to relapse, leading to coma. You only need to take a few decoctions to be safe, but..."

"But what?"

The doctor said tremblingly: "Your Majesty is too preoccupied, and I'm afraid he won't want to wake up for a while."

"You go down and make some medicine."

After waving the doctor and the maids and servants to leave, Mrs. Gong walked to the bed and sat down. She looked at her son, who was still frowning even though he was unconscious, as if he had dreamed of something sad and was extremely restless. Her eyes contained love and worry.

But the deliberately lowered tone was cold and sharp: "No matter how serious your worries are, you must wake up immediately, otherwise you will wait for your grand hegemony to be in vain, and wait for the heroes to be dead!"

However, Gong Yuanhao still closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless.

When Mrs. Gong saw this, the love and worry in her eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by disappointment and some unknown determination, and then she stood up and left without looking back.

For three days in a row, Gong Yuanhao showed no sign of waking up. Both the generals and soldiers in the city were worried. However, the people who did not want to see the war resumed secretly prayed that King Zhongwu would never wake up, so that they would not be affected.

Implicated.

In the past three days, Qingyun ordered the army to surround Jiuyuan County but did not take any action.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

In the early morning of the fifth day, Gong Yuanhao, who had been unconscious for a long time, slowly opened his eyes and saw his mother sitting by the bed. His blank eyes gradually condensed, and his voice, which had not spoken for several days, seemed a little hoarse: "Mother, son.

Let you worry."

"It'll be fine if you wake up." Mrs. Gong said with a kind face and tears in her eyes.

"How many days will my son be in coma?" Feeling stiff all over, Gong Yuanhao frowned.

"Four days."

"So what's the situation outside now?"

"The enemy surrounded us but refused to attack."

"Are the Ninth Princess trying to trap us in the city?" Gong Yuanhao struggled to sit up: "Where is Yingjie? Where is Yingjie?"
